One Whole Week...

Jun 26, 2012

 A week has gone by since my surgery and I've certainly had my ups and downs. Thinking back, the first few days were very trying. I was experiencing remorse and grieving over the loss of my former relationship with food. But with each sunrise comes new hope for a better day. Now a week out, I am starting to feel better, both physically and emotionally. I have the greatest support system I could ask for. Although I live in Michigan and my family in Chicago, they are still very involved in my recovery. Actually, my dad is in Arizona (enjoying the 100 degree temps) at his vacation home and my mom and siblings are in Europe for their vacation. Despite the thousands of miles between us, they make sure to check in with me daily. This is in addition to my boyfriend and his fabulous family that have been behind me 100% of the way. Without these supports, I'd be a mess!

Anyways, I'm feeling pretty good today. Still having some mild pain around two of my incision sites and slight has pain in my abdomen. I've been sleeping in my recliner since coming home and I tried to sleep upstairs in bed last night...what a huge mess that was. I was so uncomfortable and laying in bed have me some pretty weird sensations in my abdomen. I guess my place is on the recliner for a little while longer, at least until I'm healed enough to lie on my side or stomach. 

Signing off for now :) Here's to a great day!
